You don't have to be quite so harsh.  After all, its impossible to win unless
your opponent makes a mistake.

Actually, I think this game is a great example of why Fruit is such a commercial
killer.  They have all jacked their kingsafety values so high (because then they
slaughter amateur programs) that Fruit just takes the piece and wins.
